Hi. Got a good Virginia blend?

97?

You

sure

know how to pick the place.

Charlie's got the best backhoe in the zone.

It's a shame it's a controlled substance.

Small pleasures can be so expensive.

Well, I don't smoke.

Too bad.

A day without nicotine is like a day without sunshine.

What do you got for me, sunshine?

What, you're not going to buy me another smoke first?

I want a name.

What do you give a damn about these penny -ante street weapons?

Well, we've got a client whose kid was wasted by a gang of kids carrying

shockers.

That's what I like about you, Cardigan.

You're a real boy scout.

Are you going to play games with me, Sky?

I'm out of here.

I don't think so.

You see, I have this friend who doesn't like when you become curious about his

merchandise. You couldn't put a damper on our relationship.

Freaking out. It's so hot.

Yeah. Can I pick up your tab?

Taken care of.

Oh, uh, your friend tried to make a run for it.

Over there somewhere.

Want to buy some of these?

Get out of here.

Hey, wait up.

Hey, give me a chance to beg you.

You don't need to thank me. Whoa, let me at least do something.

You need plan.

You think I'm some kind of a charity case? Is that what you think?

No, I just want to pay you back.

I don't take handouts.

Okay.

Okay, you don't want plan.

But you got to eat, right?

Huh? So who caught you up with Charlie?

Somebody who didn't want me to know. They were importing infeelable shockers.

Importing? Those were domestic.

Couldn't be.

Government banned them six years ago.

That mesium chip silicon interface.

Those were cheap.

Garden variety domestic.

Spastum plasma.

Spastum plasma.

No, don't. Spastum.

Glad you get to be such an expert on weapons.

The service.

I fought in Brazil.

Brazil? You're too young.

Butte job.

I needed a touch -up.

Looks good.

Your tax dollars at work.

I guess you saw some heavy action.

Yeah, well, I got off easy.

One creole special and two soya cafes.

Thanks.

You fight in Brazil?

I was 15.

I had a lot about my age, but I couldn't get past that draft board.

That's a good thing.

But my brother, he saw a lot of action.

And that's the last we saw of him.

What was your brother's name?

Daniel.

Danny Carty.

The name I find it.

Nice name.

So where you working now?

Odd jobs here and there.

It's like a full -time job.

Doing what?

Please state your name.

Dutton. Electra.

Retinal scan match.

Electra Dutton, gender female.

Date of birth, February 2, 2010.

Personal identification number, 568034.

Education, T2 equivalent.

Governmental security clearance level, 6.

Extensive reconstructive surgery for war injuries.

Health otherwise, exit.

Under penalty of four years, I swear this information is correct.

I do.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Patient, reaction, strategy, hand -eye, all off the scale.

It's supposed to be impossible to score this high.

I didn't score this high.

You begin training at 8 a .m. tomorrow.

Pay is 18 credits a day, 25 once training's completed.

I have a job? A med staffer will check you up before you leave.

What for?

You had one hell of a workout.

I'll be fine.

Don't play tough.

She's not.

Her heart rate never increased.

Systolic pressure constant.

That was a walk in the park for her.

Congratulations, Cardigan.

You found a winner.

Looks like I don't buy dinner.

I can't. Hey, this isn't charity.

We're celebrating.

Some other time. I just... I have to be somewhere.

Not yet.

I'll tell you where you are.

General Edward Marks? Who the hell are you?

You are charged with the crime of treason against the people of your

Just a joke.

You were responsible for the soldiers who were needlessly sent to their deaths

at the Battle of San Marco.

Look, let's just talk about this offensively.

Please.

I was told I was to report here for training.

There's been a change in your program.

Did I do something wrong?

Quite the opposite.

This is Walter Bascom.

He doesn't usually make it a habit to meet new trainees.

I don't make a habit of anything.

Dutton, sir.

Electra Dutton.

Relax.

This isn't the military.

I know I'm late for training, sir. It won't happen again.

It won't happen again?

Because I'm giving you apprentice status.

It's a waste of my resources to train you. You're already better than any of

trainers. What you need is experience.

You'll work with Cardigan.

You'll follow his instructions to the letter.

Yes, sir.

I'm not going to say dismiss.

Of course not.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Our firearms expert has confirmed that you were right about the shockers.

They're domestic.

Now all we got to do is find out who's making them.

How do we do that?

Look for the middleman.

Biggest shocker supplier in the zone is Jonas LaSalle.

How do you know that?

You want me to take you to him?

I think I'd rather you beat up the kid.

I'm kidding.

Let's go.

I'll be with you in a minute.

So, what can Jonas do for you today, my friend?

Hey, I got a special on wrist fits. Two for one.

How about cubic zirconia for the beautiful lady? We're interested in a

specialized line of merchandise.

How specialized?

Amanda Herrera says you give discounts to vets.

Amanda Herrera?

Jonas loves vets.

Window.

Jonas hates cops.

Step this way.

Shh.

Display tools.

Wow, that's quite a collection.

Biggest in the zone.

All the latest merchandise.

Take a look at this, my friend.

Laser sight.

Pulse regulator.

Automatic discharge.

Nobody's going to steal your wallet if you carry this baby.

Jonas guarantees it.

Well, we're looking for something a little daintier.

Something that fits in a handbag.

Or just a palm.

Oh, no, no, no.

Concealable shockers were banned six years ago.

Amanda says you carry everything.

How about it?

A hundred credits each.

Where'd you get all these?

Now that is a dangerous question, my friend.

I may be able to move some of these for you.

Put that down right now!

I'm terribly sorry.

Enough! Jonas has had enough! Stop her! I think the man has got the picture.

He hasn't given you any information yet. Give him a chance.

Look, Jonas has a lot of suppliers.

Okay, uh, concealable shockers.

Let's see, uh, big guy, security guard.

Jonas can't remember the name of the company.

Phonix! Phonix?

Fidget!

Phonix.

Is that really necessary?

He wouldn't tell you what you needed to know. Well, you didn't give him a

chance. It worked, didn't it? Look, busting up a place is a last resort. You

don't bust up a place until you've tried everything else.

Well, you made a lot of the same mistakes when I was around.

It wasn't a mistake.

Cardigan.

What's up?

I just ran a check on Bonix. It's a wholly owned subsidiary of Brennan

Technologies. Somebody worked awfully hard to bury the connection.

Frederick Brennan, fine, upstanding citizen, is manufacturing illegal

You got it.

Well, do you have any idea where his manufacturing plant is? I have 15 cases

ahead of yours. Running a check on phonics was a gift.

Yeah, but today's my birthday.

I'll bake you a cake.

Approaching Evans Park.

Well, that grinds things to a halt.

11 kilometers.

Can we make a stop?

Yeah, why not? We got plenty of time.

Matthew!

I thought you forgot about me. Oh, I could never forget about you.

Matthew, I have a job now.

I get paid every day, so I'm going to buy a place to live and you can come and

stay with me.

This is my new friend. His name is Jake.

Pleased to meet you, sir.

Jake.

You two serve together?

Electra saved my life.

Not really.

Honest, she did.

I remember this big explosion.

It was like fireworks.

Only they bit into my leg.

The government replaced my leg for free.

The park looks great.

I have to pick up every leaf myself. I have to pick up all the leaves.

That's a lot of leaves.

Those are my orders.

We gotta go.

Fight the good fight.

Matthew died in the service of his country.

I visit what's left when I can.

Well, it's quitting time.

Can I give you a ride home?

I can walk from here.

I, um, I learned a lot today.

Wait till tomorrow.

Sure you don't want to ride?

Okay, special?

Keep the change.

Oh, and can I get a side of protein chips?

And a piece of cherry pie.

But not with that synth cream. I want real whipped cream.

One DC special, no synth.

Got it, honey?

Thanks.

No, sir.

I was hungry, so I stopped to eat.

Duty comes before your belly.

Yes, sir.

You have work to do.

Another co -conspirator has been unearthed.

Awaiting your order, sir.

Target is the man responsible for the massacre of Sal Marco.

Terminate Walter Bascom.

Permission to speak, sir.

Grazie.

I do not think...

That's right.

You do not think.

Have you forgotten about the massacre at Thalmar?

You were supposed to die there.

The government's way of getting rid of battalion X.

The government planned your death.

How many of your comrades drowned in their own fight?

Have you been to the graveyard?

Can you count the headstones?

Don't you... Who is your commanding officer?

You, sir.

I mean, General Frederick Brennan, sir.

Your target is Walter Baskin.

Any questions?

No, sir.

What's this I hear about a new kid?

It's all true.

And who made you the company headhunter?

She helped me out of a jam.

Besides, she's a Brazil vet. She needed the work.

Hey, I like you.

I want you to meet Sid Gomez.

How you doing?

Good morning, sir. Sid's my partner. I keep him out of trouble.

I've saved his butt so many times, I can't even count them all.

Maybe that's because there's a lot of butt to cover.

Don't believe anything he tells you. Enough.

Let's go.

Come on.

Electra.

Electra.

Traitor, Walter.

knowingly sent soldiers to certain death in Salmarco.

Confess your treason before you die.

There's nothing to confess.

Turn off the security.

Let's have a little chat.

Are you okay? Here.

I'm going to tell you. Oh, gosh.

She's got one hell of a punch.

Her dick ain't bad either.

Who sent you here?

Dutton, Electra, GS level 6, ID number

568034.

The implant.

What happened?

Dutton, Electra, GS level 6.

She's got subcutaneous implants in her legs and torso, too. She's practically

bulletproof. Dutton, Electra, GS level 6.

ID number 56803. It's a waste of time.

I'll call the police.

That won't be necessary.

Who are you?

Shelly Grout, Government Special Services.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Bascom.

We greatly admire your efforts to eradicate tech.

Division 86.

That isn't military.

This is unfortunately a special case.

Electra's attempt on your life is one among many unfortunate incidents.

Did she try to murder someone else?

Her attempt on your life is one of her many crimes against society.

Answer the question.

Just release her.

Stand up, soldier.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Move out!

What was that?

Science should escape the circus. That was the cleanup detail.

Is what she said true?

I'm touched by your concern for my well -being, Jake.

Your new recruit...

Almost cost me my life. Well, maybe you deserved it.

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

If you're coming for the government, you damn well deserved it.

That's way out of line.

I want to know.

Did you plan the massacre at San Marco?

A home and cool object. My brother died in San Marco. I want to know now.

Your brother.

The only unit that did was Electra's Special Services Battalion X, the best

fighting machine we ever had.

And Electra was right.

It was a setup.

What does that mean?

They were hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned, and nobody questioned the

By the time I got there, the assault had begun.

I never saw so many dies

All set on execution.

Why?

No why.

Well, I have a hunch your soldier does.

Not that I like to turn away business, my friends, but don't you have cyber

in that big outfit of yours that can run a fairly routine charade, huh? We've

been watched by some bureaucrats.

Uh -huh. Let's just put it this way. We don't want her to know that we're

peeking up her skirt.

Uh -huh. Follow.

We're taking a ride through G .S. to ask our girl.

Sounds like a blast.

Are you sure you can trust this guy?

This guy seems like a brother to me. Doesn't say much about your mama.

Ready.

Do it.

Government security block.

We're leaving a problem.

I'm at level three and cruising.

Whoa, somebody's getting translated.

Hey, Faz, do you think these bureaucrats got some smarts after all?

Yeah, where are you now?

Level six.

We're in GSS.

Damn, I'm good.

Uh... These guys are really anal retentive. His dad is totally

Want to tell me who we're looking for?

Shelly Grout, GSS operator.

I want to know what she eats for breakfast.

Grout, Shelly Grout.

Here's one of her files.

Grout's got a signature security code.

Not much of a match for me.

Busted. Wide open.

Uh, she's investigating the suicide of one General Edward Mark.

Is he a Brazil vet?

Yeah, three tours of duty.

Here's another file.

And another suicide.

Uh, General David Berger.

Did he have a war record?

Yeah, two tours in Brazil.

Look, if I stay in the sector much longer, someone's going to notice. Just

it one more try.

Make that three suicides. This grout lady's a grim reaper.

Marlise Jennings, President Jennings Incorporated? This can't be right.

Jennings isn't a vet. Doesn't even have a military record. Are you sure you're

flying in the right sector?

Hey, this is grout's signature.

Grout's cleaning up after Electra.

Hmm. Coming up on murder by calling him a suicide.

This investigation is red tag.

Which means?

Well, according to this, your friend Electra poses a threat to security.

He's considered armed and dangerous.

Have you checked out the scene of the last so -called suicide?

You got something better to do?

Yeah, I might go listen to a few more stories.

Whoa! That's another tracer.

I am out of here.

We may be digging up where some pretty high rollers don't want us to do.

Who do you got a problem with that?

No, you.

Yeah, I like it.

Take the bag.

Thanks. You got it.

Good flight.

I bet you this place has never looked better.

I like picking up the leaves.

In the fall, they turn brown and orange and red like roses.

I've never seen a rose before, but someone told me they smell good.

The botanical gardens aren't far from here.

They've got roses in all different colors.

Can we go there now?

Now, I came here to talk to you about Elektra.

Elektra's my best friend.

Well, Elektra's a friend of mine, too.

And I don't want to see anybody hurt her.

Especially Shelly Grout.

You know about her?

Shelly Grout is mad at Elektra.

Why?

Elektra won't go through rehab.

Ex -class soldiers have to go through rehab.

What's an ex -class soldier?

I have to pick up the lead.

Matthew, if you don't tell me what an ex -class soldier is, I can't help

Electra. And she needs my help right now. Don't let them hurt her. Don't let

them hurt Electra. Take it easy.

I'm not going to let anybody hurt her.

But you've got to tell me what you know.

I can't remember.

How'd you get those scars?

In the war.

I was injured.

I know about Electra's implants.

Are these scars from implants, too?

X -class soldiers are biologically enhanced.

To reintegrate into society, X -class soldiers must be rehabilitated.

I was rehabilitated, but Electra doesn't want to.

She says the government betrayed us, and she says they'll pay.

Who's going to pay?

I don't know.

Electra's fighting the good fight for General Brennan.

She says she won't let me down.

But I like picking up the lead.

General Frederick Brennan received a government contract to develop X -class

soldiers.

Well, no wonder he knows how to push your buttons.

He wired them.

First shockers, now super soldiers.

This guy makes a lot of dough off of dangerous toys.

Gets worse.

X -class soldiers were considered expendable weapons.

Electra was never supposed to survive.

Not anymore.

Well, anyway, I can talk to her.

It is going to be murder to hack through GSS security.

You mean it's something you can't do?

I'll give you two minutes.

Keep it short.

Electra, you have to listen to me. We haven't got much time.

Frederick Brannan has been lying to you.

Dutton, Electra, ID number 56803. He's been using you as his personal

assassin. He's having you kill innocent people.

Marlise Jennings had nothing to do with the war.

She was a business competitor.

Dutton, Electra.

One minute left.

He's lied to you about everything.

Frederick Brennan is the one that sent you and your comrades into San Marco to

die.

He knew that you weren't going to survive, and now the government is

cover up for their mistakes.

Letcher, let me patch you in to the police.

Expose Brennan.

Then we can get you out of there.

Then you can tell the world about San Marco, but you've got to do it now.

Letcher, come on!

Ground is going to turn you into a vegetable. Is that what you want? Out of

time. You died for the wrong reasons. You died for nothing.

What happened?

I had to cut it short. They started a trace.

Just try it again. I don't care about the trace.

The show is over, Cardigan.

Do you see this? They found us. They know where we are.

Get ready for company.

Better start coming up with some fast answers now.

Deactivate. Activate.

Hello, dearie.

I have to get you into rehab.

I see the tranquilizer is working quite nicely.

I think we need just a little added touch to keep you on your way.

Electra? What's going on?

What happened to you?

They caught me.

Who?

DSS. I escaped.

Come directly to the house.

Marlies Jennings and Walter Baskin.

Were they innocent?

Come to the house, soldier.

It's an order. Were they innocent?

I will not tolerate insubordination.

You lied to me, didn't you?

They were all lies.

They've brainwashed you.

You're a traitor.

A lying, stinking traitor.

Vincent, I'm expecting a visitor.

Yes.

Tell security to shoot you.

Very good.

Our trace indicates the call originated from Cosmos.

Well, with all the hackers in the net, it's easy to screw up, especially for

government. GSS does not screw up.

We got your warning, and we stayed away.

We have a lead.

She used a vid phone near the Asian quarter.

Electra escaped?

You were the last one to speak with her, Mr. Cardigan.

Step away from that terminal, please.

Excuse me? I'm not going to ask you to.

Got a warrant? I can get one.

Move!

Knock yourself out.

Retrieve the last file.

Just what we needed.

Good help, Mr. Kotkin.

What did you do?

They wanted a location on Elektra, so I gave it to them.

Grant thinks it's Elektra.

Well, who is it?

Pizza delivery truck.

Nickel, baby.

That's about time.

This one, I go alone.

Are you crazy?

The lecture's going to look at anybody else as a threat.

And I don't want to set her off.

Turn your arm around.

Turn your arm around.

Trigger on premise.

Trigger on premise.

Trigger on premise.

Nika, we need meds in here now.

On the way.

She's out of her mind.

Get the chopper ready, Vincent. I'll lead from the turret.

I'll have it done immediately.

Sir!

Don't move.

At ease, soldier.

Liar!

Who was your commanding officer?

I said, at ease.

You betrayed me.

You betrayed my cause.

The blood of innocent people is on my hands because of you.

Walter Baskin put you up to this.

He's poisoned your mind.

You knew there was no rehab.

You sent us there to die.

It's the government's fault. They cut funding.

But...

I have the plan.

It's all right here.

All the biomedical research to reverse the process and properly rehabilitate

soldiers like you. The lecture don't listen to them.

Back off or you're dead.

Don't you understand?

That's why I protected you.

I couldn't save all the soldiers, only one.

You!

You're lying!

You'll have your life back, Electra.

It'll be normal again.

Here, take it. No, I don't believe you.

Here it is.

All the research.

Everything. I don't believe you!

Franny, get away from the desk.

I'm trying to get up.

I'm going to die.

The meds are on the way.

I'm going to die.

You were right.

No one will ever know what happened. It's just like you said.

Why couldn't you let me help you?

You wouldn't understand.

No one understands.

I failed.

I'm not going to let you fail.

Fight the good fight.

Tell them to stand back.

This is official government business.

Mr. Carter, I can only imagine what a terrible ordeal you've been through.

Now, if you would kindly follow one of my operatives, we can escort you off the

premises and avoid any unnecessary media... That's just what you wanted.

Just sweep the whole thing under the rug. Not possible. There's a hundred

reporters outside.

I can't imagine who tipped them off.

You're still watching my back. It's a full -time job. This is a matter of

national security.

Save it.

I'm ordering you to comply.

You're going to have a lot of bodies to explain.

You don't know who you're dealing with.
